NPCServer bug: Projectiles?
 

I have noticed that on a few servers projectiles don't seem to work right.

I PMed Stefan about the problem on one PW when it occured, but I never heard back.

Heres the problem:
Serversided actionprojectile/actionsprojectile seem to call before a projectile actually hits something. Now randomly it WILL work but usually it doesn't.

I have found that if you add a "zangle" and "power" to the projectile it work fine, otherwise it doesn't.

Scripts used for testing:
weapon: Projectile/Test-1

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  setshootparams test;

  shoot playerx,playery,playerz,

    getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir)),

    0,0,

    gralats,1;

}

---

This one seems to call before it hits, shortly after its fired.

weapon: Projectile/Test-2

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  setshootparams test;

  shoot playerx,playery,playerz,

    getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir)),

    0.7,1.5,

    gralats,1;

}

---

This one calls when it lands like it's supposed to.

DB-NPC: Control-NPC

NPC Code:

---

if (actionprojectile || actionsprojectile) {

  if (strequals(#p(2),test)) {

    this.x = strtofloat(#p(0));

    this.y = strtofloat(#p(1));

    setplayerprop #c,Projectile: (#v(this.x),#v(this.y)) Player pos: (#v(playerx),#v(playery))

  }

}

---

works fine for me
try this in a weapon

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created) {

  timeout = .05;

}

if (timeout) {

  if (onwall(mousex,mousey)) {

     setplayerprop #c,WALL!!!;

  }else{setplayerprop #c,clear;}

  timeout = .05;

}

---

that's all I can think of right now

Well after further testing i found it to be only bugging in some levels, however looking at the levels nothing is wrong...

Edit: Also only the serverside actionprojectile is messing up, thats why i said "NPCServer bug?"

Problem solved, you can close this if needed.

newtilesets=true was inside server options when it shouldn't have been.

Although i thought the NPCServer only applied that to the levels or levelstart inside the newtilesetlevels= option. apparently it doesn't.
